Join us on August 9 at 7:00 pm for a panel with renowned artists Meltem Arıkan, Pınar Öğün and Memet Ali Alabora.
Following the 2013 Gezi Park protests in Istanbul, after their play "Mi Minör" was accused by government officials and pro-government media of being the “rehearsal” for the protests, writer Meltem Arikan, actor Pinar Ogun and director/actor Memet Ali Alabora left their home country and settled in the UK, where they continued to produce work for theatre. Their latest production “Enough is Enough”, a feminist theatre-gig, toured across Wales. The production has received praise from critics and audiences alike.
The team will share their unique story of how they had to leave Turkey, their experiences during the tour in Wales and their future projects.
